The book presents an interesting and unique picture of world government where citizens have to undergo certain trials to find their love. Good review.

This was a good review. It really made the book sound even more interesting for me to want to read. Written like a tv show I wonder will love conquer all. I will definitely be adding this book to my want to read list to have my question answered. Great Book of the Day pick!

Love in the time of dystopia. Particularly, love triangle. Temptation Trials Revolution by B. Truly is about first love and mature relationships. But more than these themes, it's about the freedom and autonomy humans desire in choosing whom to love. Set in a dystopian dictatorship sometime in the future, the main protagonists find a way to undermine the new policy of the Regime for arranged marriages. This will be interesting. Reviewer kemp1kor found it entertaining and got invested in the characters, although the reviewer also saw problems in the writing style and editing. But still, the premise is a curiosity so I'd definitely give this book a try.

I enjoy dystopian based books since they really make you think and consider the possibilities. I think I would take a look at this, as I like the idea of the alternating point of views to give a reader the full story.

Anything dystopian whether romance, fantasy you name it is up my lane. I think this book gets even more intriguing as it's narrated from a male POV. It's a book that goes to my want to read shelf and it's free so yay, thanks to the author. Thanks for the great review.

This seems like a good read; from the summary above. Though I don’t know if reading a sequel is my cup of tea, but the reviewer has sparked my interest some more and I’m definitely putting this on my list of books to read😉😁

Quite curious, the way they control love. And a reality show that makes you test it or figth for it sounds curious too. I am not into romance rigth now but congratulations on BOTD.

This is a good take on dystopian world. We could learn quite a few things about romance and more.

I sampled the book on Amazon. This is a romantic thriller set in the future after the conceptualized World War III. The world is ruled by a single person who looks after personal matters as well such as marriage. This story should attract people who love romance with a bit of thriller as mentioned in the review by Kemp1kor. Kemp1kor also mentions that there are certain parts in the story which seems little confusing so a reader should keep that in mind.

This work would be thrilling to read as the world dictator who is Eminence sets his new laws and principles to govern his people. The reality television show would be interesting. I read the Temptation Trials Part II, and it was splendid for me.

Thanks for the informative review. While the plot seems very interesting, this book is not my cup of tea at all. I find it's too graphic for me. Again, thanks for the heads up - it means a lot to readers like myself who are constantly having navigate around certain books.

I've never really read a dystopian novel before, so I don't know what to expect. But a romance story from the men's point of view should be interesting, especially with the challenge of some royal dude being all tyrannical on people's lives, down to their love and entertainment. I also appreciate the "fairly slow" development of romantic relationships, both physically and emotionally; as well as the love triangles attached to the story. Thanks for the review.

I like the concept of the story line...kind of an 18+ twist on The Hunger Games, and I appreciate the story told from the male perspective. However, the explicit sex is definitely not for me. I can handle the strong language, but graphic sex scenes are not my cup of tea. Thank you for your insight!

Definitely reminds everyone of the Hunger Games series.
All round the plot is interesting and the sex scenes might just be a little too much for some people. 2.5 out of 4 stars for me
